No. Ultimate Chuks and Tai Chi students simply train with the material, follow the manual, and submit rank exams when you are ready.

There is a rank exam fee when you submit a test. Your instructor will spend a lot of time doing a detailed review, grading, and also filming a personalized feedback video. This also covers the official certificate of rank that you will receive. There is also a small fee for any stripe test assignments that require additional review and feedback for you.

Each family member does need their own official student enrollment and account in order to track their progress. After you enroll as a full GMAU student, you can easily add-on a family member for 50% off the regular tuition cost. And, all of your accounts will be linked and easy to manage together!

A uniform is not a requirement. You can wear any comfortable workout clothes. However, many students do like to purchase an actual gi (for karate and bo for example) for their training and testing.
